7:02 pm
make tomb yo. what is ridiculous? investment is good. it grows the economy. >> john, thank you for having me on the show tonight. big sfernds always call taking money from you and me and something they prefer they will always call it investment. that's not how i learned it in my 20er yaos of business before i wam to congress. it is worse than more of the same. it will take the debt $25 trillion over the course of the next decade. >> the president acknowledges that. >> that's right. that's his plan. that's his intended outcome. >> not a single proposal about the affordable care abilict and much they will spend entitlement programs and on top of that enormous tax increases which will reduce growth for the american economy. the best way to to get the
7:03 pm
economy started again. you end upholding the can and begging for money. that's how america is going to find itself. >> it sounds afeeling loan guarantees. billion to promote efficiency and renewable energy. >> i have seen these renewable energy stories for my entire time in congress. i have fought against them with incredible energy myself. they tell you how great it is and they say i could make it even better if i could take the tax payer money. we shouldn't be picking winners and losers and most would be wasted with no benefit to the american people. >> do you think americans understand the debt? is i worry they don't. when i asked them about it they say things like this. the should government spend more to help people? >> of course. government should always be
7:04 pm
spending to help people. >> i think the government should always be trying to help people. >> they just believe we can stand a spend and that's the way to help people. >> i also tell you we are out liar ars for the group you went to see. >> not everybody i ask. >> when i am back in kansas folks giet that can't spend mor than you take in. they are being responsible in their own lives government can do that, too. it is folks like me. they like those who shoot straight and tell them the truth. it is something they have to do less of. they have to make decisions that are difficult. when we do that great outcomes will happen. they will make good decisions throw the economy and get the nation back on the right track. we have a budget spending money like no nation has ever done in the history of mankind. >> thank you congressman
7:05 pm
pompeii. >> thank you, john. >> we turn to school policy one from the right and one from the left. from the heritage foundation and covert from progress. policy wants couldn't get to congressy if you do. i am going to blow in wonk mourn. you disagree with me and the congressman. how did we get it wrong? >> when you are looking at a budget document like observe's we are sure it isn't going to pass anything given the congress we have. how we invest and how we pay for it. it is not like he is deciding to do all of this spending and won't pay for any of it. the a lot of this is paid for. >> with higher taxes. >> it is also not the tax rates or wealthy people it is targeted the money that multi national
7:06 pm
corporations take overseas and they can avoid. >> assuming it won't work or won't bring the money in. what about the death going up to 25 trillion. doesn't that scare you? >> the difference between the debt we have and money coming in is fulling right now. it fell at the fastest rate. >> it is falling from the continue u-- stimulus blowout. >> the economy is getting better. part of the reason it got bigger during the recession that people weren't paying as much in taxes because they weren't working they needed more assistance from unemployment those things are getting better maybe not as fast but that helps improve our situation. >> she caught this the investment to pay for it with the new taxes. >> it will be over a trillion dollars again. >> it is briefly falling and my
7:07 pm
age group expired. >> it is going to triple before the end of the decade we will se spend more than 800 billion more than what we will be spending on the domestic budget if we don't get debt under control whether you agree the government should make it or private sector should. >> to try to explain that you see 17 trillion by the time my age group is all retired. 325 trillion is not enough money in the world. >> when you look at what government promised and obamacare this new entitlement and what we expect to bring into the taxes that is what we are looking at. even what you are seeing is already more than 55 million for every american. >> what about that?
7:08 pm
>> let's talk about that's what you talk about in the long-term entitlement. you have to talk about healthcare in this country. we pay too much in healthcare. i would say the affordable care act is trying to split the system. i think that's a healthcare problem. social security on the other hand is actually a really easy fix to make it fiscally sol vant the last 25 years. that's to lift the cap. a lot of wealthy people are not going to end up paying taxes on the income social security. we listed it it would be -- >> that's the risk. >> look how rich they are. >> you will bring in surplus revenue now which the government will spend like it has done in the past. if the social security trust fund held any real aspects we
7:09 pm
wou wouldn't be talking about social security causing a problem for the budget. we know the government spends all of the money that's what would hap fpen if we lift the c. the government will go in right out the door. it won't go towards our priority. it wants to go toward basic research and infrastructure. things you think are important but special interests are driving this in washington. which is why spending caps are so porn the. >> i am skeptical of your think tank. it is something that is the reason the deficit went down in addition to the fact that it is a big blowout stimulus. big progress in that. economic havoc and suffering will ensue if they allow it to go into effect. i didn't see the chaos and suffering. as many as 600,000 children and pregnant woman could lose access to food and healthcare.
7:10 pm
give me a break. >> actually there was quite a lot of suffering. a lot of government analeses were able to find short term ways to want that blow that we were expecting. a lot of kids were talking to kids when they were trying to get to work. i talked to domestic violence shelters who couldn't help women. a lot of it is low income. >> the reporters are all with you. >> local news covered it but it wasn't enough of a story. it is people who rely on head start. >> when the government is exaggerated? >> i think it wasn't necessarily exaggerated we saw real pain hit. we haven't changed that pain. we cut ourselves into this hole where we were starting a lot of
7:11 pm
long-term things. they are not getting enough relief. they are going to continue suffering. >> is it enough? >> we are not getting it to these long-term priorities. we have to make decisions, right, about where we spend and where we invest. >> i think they kept them working first of all let's talk about how small they are they are 2.5 percent. automatic oo very small. >> if we are talking about the obama administration put out a study recently that showed us the program despite billions of dollars of tax payer money it sounds like a good program are we really helping those children or increasing the burdens government. it drags on the economy and grows opportunities which hurts low income americans the most. we need pro growth policies that
7:12 pm
help everyone get jobs and get a true rate. >> let's talk about the deficit. that's a big one you both acknowledged that. politicians promise to fix that. the heritage foundation video this one from the senate majority leader from 15 years ago. >> he will expect by 2014 to have totally eliminated the debt. >> totally nim nated. $17 trillion. right? >> it's your guy. >> long-term predictions are hard. we are seeing much lower deficit than we thought three, four years ago. the picture changes a lot. i think that we are on much better fiscal footing than we thought we were going to be. the deficit is actually falling right now. >> terrible fiscal footing? >> the deficit is coming down. >> it is better than -- it is
7:13 pm
still $600 billion. that is how much more we spend than we collect. >> thank you brice and romena. keep this conversation going on facebook and twitter. let people know what you think. >> coming up president obama said we should have preschool for all. i say it's a bad thing. you may not agree. next. when jake and i first set out on our own, we ate anything. but in time you realize the bett you eat, the better you feel. these days we both eat smarter. and i give jake purina cat chow naturals. made with real chicken and salmon, anit's high in protein like aow cat's natural diet. and no added artificial flavors. we've come a long way. and whatever's ahead,

>> i asked congress to help make high quality pre- a >> i asked congress to make quality pre-k available to every four-year-old. >> preschool for every four-year-old for free. everyone i asked liked it. >> giving prekindergarten to every kid, good idea? >> i think education is goods, yeah. >> universal pre-k is great for the taxpayers don't mind paying for it. >> how moon nae taxpayers mind paying for it? universal pre-k creates single standard for preschool. that can kill innovation. government preschool clouds out private alternatives that might
7:18 pm
be bitter. while programs lake head start sound so good to people the president's own education department studied it and found it didn't work. it helped but billions of dollars it made no difference. so now the president wants to spend more? i say that's crazy. nobel prize winning economist says i am dead wrong. profess professor? >> i didn't say you were dead wrong in everything you just said. i said that there is an he cecoc basis. i heard a previous segment of your program people were talking about investments. i think this is a case where if there were more evidence on behalf of preschool for disadvantaged children you will find the program more than pays for itself in terms of the return. both for the individual and the society. so i think there are government
7:19 pm
programs that are investments like the interstate highway system or transcontinental railroad that link it together. there are investments that do payoff. i am completely with you when you say there's a lot of government waste, but i would say if people look at the evidence for other programs the way that we have looked for evidence on this program, then we would have -- we would go a long ways towards meeting some of your but i think this program we are talking about these classes of programs are probably surviving. >> you studied the preschool and concluded the investment high quality investment and preschool brings a return of 7-1. every government preschool supporter sites that 7-1 statistic now including our president. >> every dollar we invest in high quality early education save more than $7 later on.
7:20 pm
>> this was a study of 58 kids, 50 years ago, and it was high quality. what are the chances that a government run education system is going to be universal high quality? >> there are several aspects to your argument that need qualification. nobody said it had to be a strictly government run program. the difference between government paying for programs and programs being run by the private sector i myself advocated a mix of public and private. i think you want to separate those two issues. i am complete which if with you if you want to engage. people have brought together these privately financed programs and shown some success. i just want to separate -- >> i don't think the president wants private financing. >> i think there's a lot of initiatives that can be supported at the individual
7:21 pm
level. i don't think anybody is who is supporting preschool or earlier education for young children things that have to be strictly a government program. the fact is the scale of the program suggests government activity will be an important component. government in the sense of financing tax based support. the 7-1 figure includes the very kind of costs that the congressman earlier in the segment is talking about. it includes the dead weight loss of taxes. we include the fact that when you tax you distort the economy. the 7-1 survive even that test. it is a pretty strong test. i feel if you look at these returns, they will stand up a pr to pretty close scrutiny. it wasn't an article where my friends this wasn't an advocacy post. this was actually a article in economic journal. >> i accept it with good
7:22 pm
research. but the preschool, the teachers went home with the kids once a week spent an hour and a half with the mom and the child. it is really intensive. >> it is no more expensive than what we found in elementary school. >> 9-10,000 dollars is what you find for the average students across the state. they spend a lot and others spend more. it is not leading higher. >> i am completely with you there is a lot of waste in government programs. what are the benefits and compare it to the cost. i bought a new car that car cost thousands of dollars. if i looked at the cost i would say what a waste of money.
7:23 pm
i could be doing something else with it. >> that car also giving me services lets me drive let's me be here>> they have had preschool for 15 years the results lots of money spent nothing is better. we are out of time for this. thank you professor heckman. coming up, i should be happy, the president wants to give more money to me. {off-lin {off-line}
